The Funeral Procession – 9th May noon: The group goes public this Saturday (9th May at noon) with its first PR campaign. At 12pm, starting from the Bonham’s Car sale at Aston Martins, with a 007 “License to kill…the High St” theme. We are asking the public to come and pay their respects by attending our funeral procession, being led by the Bagpipes band, closely followed by the ‘Grim-retailers’ display, the Hearse and the collection of Newport Pagnell owned classic cars . This will go up over the Iron Bridge, right onto the High St (where a number of shops have offered to board themselves up), down Ousebank St back to Tickford St and back past the proposed site. This is being attended by National media and a number of celebrities, who are already angry that the insides of the Sunnyside heritage building have been ripped out. Feel free to throw flowers onto the Hearse, but we can not have anyone join the parade..sorry. SO PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT US BY LINING THE STREETS AND CHEERING US ON. www.notesco.org.uk is the website of a group of people who are trying to keep everyone up to date with what’s going on and people are discussing their thoughts of how to move on. The three standing heritage buildings: As many of you may know, these building make up the world’s oldest standing coach-makers of 200 years, next year. The very reason David Brown brought Aston Martins here in the late 1950’s was due to the specialist skills we had, making Bentleys etc. A collection of local business men, historians, AM Owners club and AM Heritage club are trying to buy these buildings from Tesco to use as a National Heritage site….but with no luck. It is proving difficult to protect these buildings as they are not listed and could be in the way of the entrance of the site. It has also been rumoured that some houses on Priory Street and Tickford Street have been purchased to be knocked down for more entrances….seems a shame buildings may have to be taken down to make way for the proposed superstore.
